In this episode, The Bearded Mystic Podcast discusses the 3rd chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, specifically verses 27 - 29. Sri Krishna guides Arjuna that nature has a hold over us, the three gunas have an impact and therefore, we get confused that we are the body. The more we understand that we are the Atman through a humble inquiry, we understand that we transcend the ego respectfully and rest in the Atman. With the understanding that we are the atman, the gunas of the senses will not lead the seeker away, they understand the compulsions for more material satisfaction but will remain detached. Sri Krishna wants us to understand that we should not disturb those who are deluded by the forces of nature, the gunas as their intellect is not sharpened by discernment.
